Telford Stampin' Up! Classes

If you live in or around Telford, Shropshire and would like to come along to one of my monthly classes, I'd love to hear from you. It's a very informal, chatty get together making two or three items (cards, 3d items, gifts etc) running for 2 hours with refreshments.

I always forget to blog what I've made for my class, so here's what we did in my 3 classes this week, which centred around the 2-step Bird Punch from Stamping Up!

It's such an adorable punch, the bird is so lovely and I was quite sure my ladies would love using this punch - and phew I was right!

The first project we did was the birdhouse, this isn't my design but a fellow SU! Demonstrator very kindly shared the template a while ago on In Love With Stamping, it's quite easy to make, if a bit fiddly and is perfect to put the bird on.

All Stampin' Up! used as follows:

Cardstock - Regal Rose; Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Rose Red

DSPs - Sweet Pea (I'm so in love with these papers!)

Stamp - Dot, Dot, Dot (on the wing using Versamark)

The card was then made, we did two versions of this, one using the waste from the bird punch as a template and chalked in the bird, this proved to be a bit of a challenge keeping it neat (I think with hindsight ink may have been better) so we also punched out the bird, which is a much stronger image and looks better in the photo.

Really enjoyed the class, Jan, it was fun :). It was lovely to make something different and I can't wait to try this out with different cardstock and paper, maybe with flowers and a butterfly instead of a bird... ooh, the possibilities are endless!
